Abstract

A system which supplies an intense ¹⁸F (half life 110 min) positron source produced by an AVF cyclotron through ¹⁸O(p,n)¹⁸F reaction has been constructed. Produced ¹⁸F is transferred to a low background experiment hall through a capillary. It is electro-deposited on a graphite rod and used for a source of a slow positron beam. In the meantime the next batch of target ¹⁸O water is loaded and proton irradiation proceeds. This system makes it possible to perform continuous positron beam experiments using the ¹⁸F positron source. Copyright (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
